How Do Seals Stay Warm in Icy Water? | Blubber Science Experiment
Do you ever wonder how arctic animals like seals stay warm in icy water? Try this blubber science experiment to find out! This is a great winter science experiment that shows kids how a thick layer of fat helps keep seals warm in cold temperatures.
Welcome to Moose Mischief, where we learn about our amazing world while creating art, making crafts and conducting science experiments!!! Moose Mischief features fun kids’ DIY videos with nature and Alaskan themes. The videos are inspired by my cartoon characters, Cooper and the moose, who live in Alaska. Check out their silly antics in my book, “Moose Mischief: A Pancake Surprise!” https://moosemischief.com
For this blubber experiment, you will need shortening, a bowl, ice cubes, cold water, disposable gloves, and a plastic bag. This easy science experiment is ideal for kids ages 3 and older with adult supervision. It takes approximately 15 minutes.
To start this experiment, have kids place their hands in a bowl filled with ice cubes and cold water. They will discover that the water is freezing! There might be lots of shouting "OUCH!!" "BRRR!!" and "IT'S TOO COLD!" involved. Then, have them put on the rubber glove and cover their hand in shortening, which will act as an insulator or like blubber. Wrap a plastic bag around their Crisco-covered hand and then have them place it back into that same icy cold water. They will find that their hand is nice and warm! This is what the water feels like to a seal that has blubber to insulate it from the cold. Pretty neat!!
